Rice cereal take two...

Enjoy the faces and expressions....

Rice cereal take one!

We tried rice cereal yesterday for the first time. Three videos and some pictures later we were both laughing at how eager Erin was to get the spoon in her mouth and then one taste of the cereal and everything was pushed out. Like many new cereal eaters, most was on the face and clothing and very little was swallowed.

Holding bottle and Grandma

Hanging out in the front yard with Grandma.

First we assist with the feeding and then....

Grandma and Aunt Cyndi taught Erin to hold her bottle while feeding. One of her many tricks learned over the weekend (also rolling over more easily and peeing whenever you remove the diaper)

Erin's Trip to San Diego

Erin went down to San Diego with Bridget, Cyndi and Rosalind for a vet conference. She had such a great time with her aunt and granny that she decided not to sleep during the night which made it a great time for all.

Laughter

Erin has finally developed her laugh. I was encouraging her with a handful of toys and funny faces.

Lying down and Reading

Erin really loves her books and enjoys sitting on the couch reading. She really wishes she could watch tv with everyone, but alas we are trying to not let her.

This book is about being nice to animals when you meet them. It is called "Pat them gently"

Mommy and Me at the pumpkin patch

Here is the whole group of moms at the pumpkin patch. Once again Erin is engrossed in the decoration and not looking at the camara. They did take about fourty shots so maybe one she is looking at the camara.
